Eagles Fired Tom Gamble

[JackStraw]

I'd like to see them take a shot here in FA - do for the team what Troy did coming here. Then draft focus for position maybe Jalen Collins  - or Rollins or Murray later rounds

im sure I will be when the nfl season ends but right now I am so far away from caring about individual players or positions....I just wanna see what kinds of guys he goes after....its gonna be a fascinating offseason

[MDS]

the eagles lead the league in white players....hes going to go after that

[General_Failure]

I look forward to hearing about these white cornerbacks they're going to get.

I support Kelly for the most part but the one thing we know is Howie ran or had a big hand in the 2012 draft which turned out to be great and Chip's handprints were on the last two, one of which looks ok/solid and one looks god awful.

So were Gamble's and he was thought of as a savior by some of you.

Sooo Marcus Smith was Howie....

[QB Eagles]

Jesus how many times do we have to read about Chip wanting to overdraft a player?

I don't think Chip's GM will be a total figurehead. Whoever it is is gonna have to be on top of draft valuation, at the least.

Sounds like the Gamble firing wasn't opposed by Chip.

Mort said it was more the timing and way it went down.

[PhillyPhreak54]

@SheilKapadia: Per @mortreport, Kelly would not have fought to save Gamble, but "strongly disapproved" of manner and timing in which Roseman dismissed him.

[Rome]

Howie had to explain to Chip about overdrafting Matthews in the first, then he picks Marcus Smith instead?

Seriously, you can't make this shtein up.

I don't believe any of this crap. I saw a rumor Gamble pushed to pick Smith. I'm sure he was undermining Howie and that's why he was canned.

and we pray.....cause chip seems seriously clueless on how the draft works...not just on how to rank the board but in taking good players when he does pick

[Rome]

He wanted Matthews in the first and Howie wanted Smith.

And you're saying Chip is the clueless one.
